Stan,

I have had it mounted above the transmission with a set of 5 - 12 V muffin
tin fans drawing air through. Have run it for several years now. Had planned
to put a Viton air barrier around the upper part of the transmission shell
but never got around to it. Goes together with my remote oil filter mounting
system. I usually see a 35 to 65 degree F temperature change from old numbers.

This is on my '82 formerly diesel Westfalia, now running a 1.8 L 8V Digifant
II system. This will be soon changed to a 2.0 L 8V turbocharged engine and I
will be redoing the oil cooling system. BTW, I still also use the stock
oil-to-water cooler.
